Hi Damienc,
Let me make sure I understand you correctly; you'd keep Tai and Powell but let Currie go? Have you considered a role in our recruitment team?
Williams, incidentally, is not a great player. He's a very good one when he chooses to be - but that has been seldom in his Wire career. The last decent performance from a Wire halfback was v Saints. A certain Mr Currie.
In 2025 we have regressed to 2005. Same lack of professionalism, same lack of backbone and same chance of winning the GF - none.
Sack the coach by all means, then sack his assistants, the recruitment team and the CEO. Anything else is deckchairs/Titanic.
We won a hell of a lot more games in 2005, we had better players who put in shed loads more effort, and 10 times more backbone with pride in the club and just got on with it all. We're currently NOTHING like we were in 2005.........unfortunately. |

Interesting that Abe tweeted over the weekend that there are
only three people who oversee every recruitment and retention decision and that
these three people don’t receive half as much criticism as others. They are:
Simon Moran
Stuart Middleton
Mike Lomax
The 'top 3 triangle' are ultimately responsible for the sanctioning of new signings & extending the contracts of players, with plenty of input from the Director Of Rugby and the senior coaching staff, as well as advisors that are used in Australia. It's their money that's being spent afterall. But nobody seems to mention them when criticising the clubs structure & on/off field results, which I suspect is down to the money they've put in to the club over the years. Imagine what position we'd be in now without them, especially SM. I don't think you can criticize them then, the club are paying people to advise and they are taking on board the advice given. The serious lack of quality falls on the people giving this advise. I have zero knowledge of who we use and if its the same people but if it is, after decades of poor recruitment with the odd exception id be cutting ties with no leaving card. When you say 'the club are paying people to advise' I assume you're referring to our Director Of Rugby & senior coaching staff ? Yeah but more so aimed at the advisors we use in Australia, i just find it bizarre and a waste of club/investors money constantly bringing players over that don't cut it The only advisor we've paid in Australia was an advanced stats guy on NRL players who Lomax knows. But if you think there's a network of pro scouts or advisors etc then you're barking up the wrong tree. Sounds crazy doesn't it !!! Simon Moran speaks to a few people who've advised him, but they certainly don't get paid ie, Andrew Johns, Jim Bannaghan, Russell Crowe, Phil Gould etc. Well, I say Phil Gould, but that's another chapter for my book. |

Ahem. I was roundly criticised on here 2 years ago for saying the Moran, one of the boys, pint on the terrace routine was wearing a bit thin.
We don't need anoher speccie. We need a w*nker of an owner who ruthlessly pursues success and expects the same from his management team.
I'm sure most Real Madrid fans have never met their owner, let alone had a paellla and a pint with him but they have enjoyed massive success over a long period by being utterly focussed and driven.

I will have my revenge in this life or the next for the Dan Russell signing. |
